Few issues raise such an engagement as parking areas, both by the municipality, property- and car owners. For car owners, it is of great importance where to park his car. Parking is not simply about availability but also about safety, security and how it affects the urban environment.When the land will be utilized for building development, there are regulations in Chapter 8, § 9 PBL how parking will be provided. Property owners have an obligation to provide parking space and it shall be arranged in an equitable manner, on the site or near it, which gives an opportunity for shared parking facilities. The guidelines for parking that the municipality has adopted should be the starting point for the extent of that space for parking is required when a building permit review.The first thing you should look at, is if the property owner has ability to provide parking space at his own property, but this is not always the best solution in areas such as inner cities.

Purpose: We will understand and explain Dell?s value gap through an extended intellectual capital theory. This will be done by deriving the value to the different parts of the intellectual capital value scheme. We will also use value scheme to describe the ongoing strategy shift. Methodology: The qualitative method and an abductive reasoning have been employed during the progress.

The sample size includes 30 companies between the years 2000-2010. The abnormal return is investigated by an Event Study.Conclusion: Our study shows that the publication gives a positive abnormal return in comparison to the respective sector indexes.

Lagen om Offentlig Upphandling (LOU), en lag vars primära syfte är att skapa lika spelregler för alla entreprenörer inom den europeiska unionen (EU) genom att bland annat förhindra diskriminering, korruption och s.k. svågerpolitik bland EU:s statliga och kommunala organisationer. Lagen har sedan den infördes 1994,( Persson (1996)), givit upphov till många tankar, funderingar och framförallt åsikter. Tanken med studien är att identifiera olika arbetssätt hos både offentliga och privata beställare med inriktning på förvaltning samt park- och grönyteskötsel. Varför jobbar man på ett visst sätt? Finns det någon djupare bakomliggande tanke eller är det för smidighetens skull de jobbar på ett specifikt sätt? Syns det i slutresultatet huruvida entreprenaden upphandlats bra eller dåligt? Syftet med rapporten är således att studera upphandlingsförfaranden på privat och offentlig marknad.

Undersökningen i detta arbete utfördes bland 69 anställda på ett företag som berörs av ett skiftformsbyte. Syftet var att undersöka hur de anställda upplever sin aktuella arbetssituation, hur de förhåller sig till det pågående förändringsarbetet samt hur de ser på sin framtida arbetssituation.Två olika metoder användes, en enkätundersökning samt djupintervjuer. Frågeformuläret besvarades av 69 personer och nio djupintervjuer utfördes.De anställda kände en trygghet i sin anställning och faktorer som lön, arbetskamrater, arbetsmiljö, relationer till ledning, upplevdes som positivt överlag. De negativa aspekterna fanns i en ökad arbetspress med minskade resurser och kontroll över arbetet. Förändringsarbetet gav positiva men till en stor del negativa reaktioner i form av motstånd, där bland annat känslor av oro och ovisshet manifesterades.

ABSTRACTBackground:To work irregular hours, so called shift work, involves a greater risk to develop bad health compared to work daytime. The society today requires availability 24-hours per day which makes shiftwork necessary. We have to find a way to make shift working people remain at a good health.Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine the self estimated health of shift workers. This study concerns significant differences between self estimated health and: main reason for shiftwork, possibility to decide what to do at work and possibility to decide how to perform work tasks.Method:A cross sectional study was performed in four companies in industrial manufacturing, printing business and service business in the community of Örebro. 113 questionnaires were delivered and 71 persons filled the questionnaires and returned them, the reply fervency were 65 %.Results:In this population almost 80 % of the participants declared their health good, very good or excellent and no one declared their health as poor.

Wood pellets are an upgraded product of residuals from several wood processing industries, for example saw mills and pulp industries. The pellets are produced by pressing the milled and dried sawdust to cylindrical units with a higher density than the initial raw material. Pellets have great benefits compared to the raw material: high energy per volume, good transport and storage properties and homogeneity. Several parameters collaborate in the whole process, which makes it complex. Wood is a heterogeneous material, chemically and structurally dependent on wood parts, habitat and storage procedures.

SammanfattninSammanfattning I många städer lägger industrier ner eller flyttar ut från stan. Detta medför att gamla hamnområden blir lediga och kan omvandlas. De blir istället nya attraktiva bostadsområden och populära platser för stadens invånare att röra sig i. Ån Nissan som flyter genom Halmstad delar staden i en västlig och östlig del. Den upplevs idag mer som en barriär än som en tillgång för staden.

This paper was part of the ongoing cooperation between the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority and the Department of Psychology at Lund University. The purpose of this study was to develop a self-report measure regarding human factors, for the air traffic controllers to fill out before they start their working shift. This in order to aid the team leaders in their judgment regarding the air traffic controller's ability to perform at the right safety level. The self-report measure would also serve as an aid for the air traffic controllers who have a responsibility regarding their own performance. If successful this self-report measure would make it easier for the air traffic controllers to be alert regarding certain factors that can have a large impact on their performance.

Health care costs in relation to GDP are escalating all over Europe and the Swedish health care industry is not an exception. Between 30 and 50 percent of resources used in health care are considered waste, in the sense that they don't contribute to increased health. This illustrates the big need for hospitals to become more efficient which is why many hospitals today are trying to move towards a process-oriented organization. This paper therefore aims to identify the elements necessary for this type of organizational change, the barriers encountered when moving from a functional to process oriented hospital as well as how to overcome them. The case study was conducted at Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset and shows the importance of not just transmitting a sense of urgency but also communicating that the upcoming change is long term.

The Swedish industrial society has left several areas with contaminated soil and water which today is of danger for the environment and human health. One of these areas with contaminated soil and water is the region where the former Glava glassworks operated during 1859 to 1939. The main object in this study has been to study the responsibility for the contaminations according to the Environmental Code. The method used is a qualitative content analysis of relevant literature to answer the following questions:What types of contaminations can be found in the area of Glava glasswork and what health issues can these cause?What kind of activity has been conducted in the area that have caused the contaminations in soil and water?According to law, what are the responsibilities for the contaminations in soil and water at Glava glassworks?The contamination in the region has been confirmed to originate from the glasswork due to the environmental engineering survey made in the area in 2009.

Over the years, what people have considered as the center of Stockholm City has gone from the medieval Stortorget in Old Town to the contemporary Sergels Torg. But more recently it has become unclear how the area really works. It is difficult to say where the actual central part of Stockholm lies, because while the Central Station is where the majority of people arrive into town, it is not necessarily close to Sergelstorg (considered the center of town) or other attractive commercial areas. There's also another issue with where the center of Stockholm is located. The railways and roads running along Klarabergs Viaduct acts as a divide between the areas of Kungsholmen and Norrmalm; these rails, roads and water separate the two areas from each other. In response to this problem of area division, a plan is being made to construct a new district near the center to mend the gap between the districts. The idea is that the center of Stockholm city will become more lively and attractive. The plan includes building new housing, commercial areas and a larger terrace called Mälarterrassen. In addition, improved mobility within the area is being planned by having better public transportation lines like City banan and tram named Spårväg City construction, as well as more pedestrian areas shall make the area become a district to thrive in.How the area will actually operate in the future is still unclear and many questions still exist about how the area will be able to compete and, above all, integrate with the other districts. The parts considered to be most important for the area is the scale of residential property and an attractive area that keeps people in the area and to encourages them to pass through the area. Perhaps the best solution would be to have something special planned in this area that can attract people in the community ? a city park, for example?.

Detta kandidatexamensarbete behandlar hållbarhetsteorin cradle to cradle inom landskapsarkitektur och samhällsplanering. Arbetet syftar till att undersöka hur landskapsarkitekter kan använda sig av cradle to cradle-principer i gestaltning och planering. Cradle to cradle utmärker sig bland andra hållbarhetsteorier genom att verka för en positiv förändring i miljön istället för att helt ta bort människans påverkan på jorden. Teorin skapades av den amerikanske arkitekten William McDonough och den tyska kemisten Michael Braungart. Vår arbetsprocess har byggt på faktainsamling om cradle to cradle som sedan sammanfattats så att båda författarna har haft liknande kunskaper och tillgång till samma referenser. På så vis har vi båda kunnat ta del av, och utvecklat, alla delar i arbetet. Arbetet inleds med en faktasammanställning om cradle to cradle där konkreta exempel över tillämpade cradle to cradle platser beskrivs, så som Park 20 20 & CEFUR:s arbete i Ronneby kommun. Denna del utgår främst från grundarna McDonough och Braungarts två böcker i ämnet: Cradle to cradle - Remaking the way we make things (2009) och The Upcycle - Beyond Sustainabillity (2013). Arbetet fortsätter sedan med en resultatdel: Att tänka på vid anläggning av utemiljöer enligt cradle to cradle, där konkreta kriterier, som en landskapsarkitekt bör ha i åtanke vid utformning av platser, beskrivs.

The last two decades have changed the society from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. The technological development, especially in IT, has caused a ?Revolution in Military Affairs?. However; how big are the changes RMA will give, or will it even change the foundation of the Art of War and if so, in what way?RMA has three cornerstones DBA, DS and PE all closely integrated in an NCW-concept.

Syftet med studien har varit att ta reda på vad som hänt efter framgångsåret 2005 när Sävsjö kommun blev vald till årets företagsvänligaste kommun av Veckans Affärer. Min utgångspunkt har varit en rapport jag skrev våren 2008, där syftet var att titta på orsakerna till kommunens framgång samt hur detta hade påverkat Arbetsförmedlingen lokalt. Svaren i det tidigare utförda arbete har legat till grund för frågeställningarna i detta arbete där kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med företrädaren för Sävsjö Näringslivs AB, kommunstyrelsens ordförande, en person på Arbetsförmedlingen, verksamhetsledaren för Science Park systemet samt med två företagare. Resultatet i studien pekar på att samtliga frågeställningar som arbetats med varit viktiga i bevarandet och utvecklingen av ett gott företagsklimat inom Sävsjö kommun, men samtidigt finns tre ingredienser som varit avgörande. Två av orsakerna framkom redan i det tidigare utförda rapportarbetet, nämligen samverkan som lett fram till målmedvetet arbete.
